ty which thofe troops bear to the French, the moft dreadful confquences may be apprehended, fhould the garrifon invite this alternative by their refit ance. The batteries in the fecond parallel had completely deftroyed the town, and colonel Moncrieff's battery had produced a very great effect. By the information of deferters from the town, feveral of whom had come into the British camp, the inhabitants were in the moft unfortunate fituation -They were without fhelter of any kind, alike expofed to the fire of the enemy, and to the elements. Thefe deferters reported, that the inhabitants, however, are in no want of provisions -they have plenty of grain, but cannot make it into flour, owing to their mills being all defiroyed. Before the meflenger left the camp, the governor of Condé had fent a meffage to the prince of Saxe-Cobourg, acquainting him that he meant to hold a council of war, the purport of which was to deliberate upon a capitulation; the refult of the council he would communicate to the prince. 5. We learn from the Swallow packet, arrived at Falmouth, that admiral Gell's fquadron have made a re-capture of another Spanish register fhip, and a French frigate of 44 guns. Mr. Heflop, the king's meffenger, arrived at Whitehall with difpatches from the duke of York's army. The works were continued with unabated vigour, and the moft fanguine expectations continued to be entertained of the fpeedy reduction of Valenciennes. Condé was expected to be furrendered in a day or two. The whole army was in the highest health and fpirits. The French garrifon at Mayence have repeatedly attempted to fend out all the ufclefs mouths, but they have heen conftantly driven back again by the fire of the Pruffians. In the island of Rhine Kopff feveral French ladies act as common foldiers, and discharge their carbines on the allies, whenever they attempt to approach that ftation, which is ftrongly fortified. Captain Smithwick, of the Spani brig Donna Maria, arrived at the Ìsle of Wight from New Orleans, fpoke his catholic majesty's frigate of war Galvestower, at the entrance of the Gulf of Florida. The captain told him of the war between England and France, and of his cruizing for the purpose of warn ing Englifh fhips from Jamaica to take fhelter at the Havanah, which was open for their reception and accommodation. When the frigate left the Havanab, the beginning of May, there was no account of the war between Spain and Erance. 6. The marine recruiting eftablishment is ordered by the lords commiffioners of the admiralty to be increated. A little before one o'clock this mornAdditional recruiting parties are imme-ing, the inhabitants of Deptford dockdiately to go to Ireland, under the fuperintendence of colonels Campbell, Averne, and Bowater. Their ftations are to be at Dublin, Waterford, and Cork. Seaforth's regiment of Highlanders, which now confits of 600, is to have an additional 400, with a fecond major. 8. The Swallow, capt. Brooks, is arrived at Falmouth, in 26 days paffage from Gibraltar, with difpatches from admiral Cofby. She brings intelligence of his majesty's fhip Egmont having taken a Spanish galleon, one of the richeft ever taken; and captured the French frigate which took the galleon feveral days before the galleon was retaken. The French frigate is one of the new conftruction, mounts 42 guns, quite new, and this the only prize fhe had taken. yard and its vicinity were greatly alarmed by the ringing of all the bells about the yard as a fignal of danger. It was difcovered that the government Atorehouses for paint were on fire, which foon burft forth with great fury, and it was feared that it would communicate to the fhipping, the Charlotte, a royal yacht, being at no confiderable dif tance. The flames fpread with fuch rapidity, that notwithfhanding all the affiftance of dock-engines, the whole of the paint florehouses were burnt down, and some buildings behind. The fire was not got under till five o'clock, and the damage done is to a large amount. The origin of this fire is at prefent very myfterious; as no candles nor fire had been used, nor been nigh the warehoufes for fome days preceeding. ARRIVAL Births and Marriages.
